Griso

Product Overview

Griso is an antifungal medication containing Griseofulvin as its active ingredient. Designed to combat fungal infections affecting the skin, hair, and nails, this medication works by stopping fungal growth to prevent the spread and recurrence of infections. Available in tablet, capsule, and oral suspension forms, Griso is commonly prescribed for conditions including ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and scalp or nail fungal infections.

Uses

Griso effectively treats superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophyte fungi. Its applications include:

• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Scalp infections (tinea capitis)
• Nail infections (onychomycosis)

The medication targets various fungal species (Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton) while relieving symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling to restore healthy skin, hair, and nails.

How to Use

For optimal results:

• Take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider
• Consume with food to enhance absorption and reduce stomach upset
• Complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve earlier
• For topical use: Apply a thin layer to affected areas and rub gently until absorbed

Treatment duration varies based on infection type and severity.

How it Works

Griso’s mechanism involves:

• Inhibiting fungal cell division by targeting microtubules
• Binding to tubulin to disrupt mitotic spindle formation
• Preventing fungal cell proliferation (fungistatic action)

This process ultimately eliminates the fungal infection.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage considerations:

• Varies by infection type/severity, patient age/weight/medical history
• Typically taken once daily with food
• Treatment duration ranges from weeks to months

Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions.
